Domestic Violence Charges And Allegations Can Harm Your Reputation
Many people fail to fully grasp how an allegation of domestic violence can adversely affect their life. In fact, it not only jeopardizes their freedom, but also adversely affects their family, professional reputation and social image. You should not take allegations of domestic violence lightly.
Texas law defines domestic violence as the reckless infliction of physical or emotional injury upon a family or household member.

Protective Orders And Consequences Of Charges
It is important to understand that an arrest for domestic violence can lead the court to issue an emergency protective order, which prohibits you from going within a certain distance of the victim. If you live with the victim, the order will prohibit you from returning home until the order expires or the court lifts it. If you violate a protective order, the state can charge you with an additional crime.
